Suffering has no strength to wound a weary body.
We all, at some point, grow old and acquire other qualities, and these can always be turned to good advantage.
Beware of anyone who tries to please you all the time.
You are what you believe yourself to be.
But if you believe yourself worthy of the thing you fought so hard to get, then you become an instrument of God, you help the Soul of the World, and you understand why you are here.
Forget everything you've ever learned about the stars and they'll once more be transformed into angels, or into children, or into whatever you want to believe at that moment. It won't make you more stupid - after all, it's only a game - but it could enrich your life.
